It's strange that two friends, colleagues, advocates and leaders of MBCN died within a week of each other. I want to read meaning into this coincidence, as if the universe had decided their fellowship and shared mission had linked their destinies. I'd like to think that dying within days of each other gave them some karmic connection and added comfort and peace at the end.
"Hero" is a word we use a lot, but truly, Ellen & Suzanne were heroic. They both inspired me and will continue to do so.

It’s terribly sad.
It’s beyond sad, it’s tragic. Each loss feels personal.
